Latest news from behind the sofa...
May 22nd:
The auto-updater on Comic Genesis seems to have stalled. The last update (the one that's sitting on the index
at the moment) has been there for about ten days and none of the newer ones are coming up. Currently
looking into that to see how it can be fixed, but it seems that the CG servers are having a bit of a
hiccup at the moment...
May 13th:
Sigh...
This strange thing "life" has gotten in the way (again), so due to a change of circumstances, the
schedule is being changed from daily to tri-weekly. Actually, no. That makes it sound like it's once every
three weeks. What I mean is thrice-weekly, or more clearly: three times a week. Most likely the classic
Mon-Wed-Fri that everyone else does.
Hopefully when things settle down I'll be able to pull the schedule
back up again.
May 5th:
Uploaded a couple more comics so the strips should be showing up correctly and up to date. I've also uploaded
the specky new archive page since there's heaps of comics up now. However, it probably won't show up until
the update tomorrow since the code won't have been proccessed by the server yet.
May 3rd:
Feeling a lot better now! Yay! Have the last few day's worth of updates done and uploaded to the server, but
they won't update until the next update. If anyone was actually reading this comic and hasn't left already,
then you'll find the whole week's worth of comics available in one hit. So the comic is maintaining it's
"daily" schedule, even though the updates didn't go up on the day they were meant to...
April 26th:
Blarghh! Mr. Flu, we meet again... and you're winning. Feel like crud, buffer running out...
April 21st:
Busy, busy week. Buffer has gone right down (at 4 and counting!) so I'm glad it was there. Currently story
boarding the next couple of strips and hope to have them done before I start lagging behind! On a side note,
the extra pages (found from the history link in the navbar) is starting to have a few articles - should make
for some interesting reading soon... once I get the bugs worked out. :o(
April 15th:
Okay, so the comic has officially started properly now. Tomorrow I'll change the links on the pages so that
"first" points to yesterday's strip. Buffer tracking: 9 in the bag - w00t! Everything is looking good and so
long as I'm adding one strip a day then everything should be hunky dory. =D
April 10th:
Looks like this whole "buffer" thing is going to work out. Go figure! At the moment I have the first six
strips up on the server and the first hasn't even displayed yet! My buffer is at around 8 strips. Let's see
how long I can keep it up..
April 8th:
I've updated the CSS which has given me loads more flexability. However, I seem to have broken the link
display format. So now all the links are black, which means that they won't show up on some of the backgrounds.
I'm gonna try and fix that this afternoon. (Which is kinda when I'm supposed t be drawing... oops.)
More from the 8th: I've added/upgraded the additional pages of archive, about and history. The archive
doesn't have much at the moment (well, none of them do) but hopefully this will start to give you an idea
as to how this comic will be shaping up.
Back to the drawing...
April 7th:
Word on the street is that there's gonna be a storm soon. Not that you really care, unless you
happen to live around here. Anyway; this easter, instead of going on holidays or spending time with my family, I'm gonna lock
myself in my room and write Emo poetry - no wait! Scratch that, I'm gonna be drawing comics! Yay!
Anyway, with the extended long weekend (public holidays on both Friday and Monday), I'm gonna be doing
up the first week's worth of strips.For the proper story that is, which will be starting on the 14th.
On the friday, I will be hiding ... under my bed ... with my teddy ...
April 1st:
Okay, I have most of the html sorted out, so I'm going to be sorting out the site graphics.
Expect this step to take a while...
No this isn't an April fool's joke. Maybe next year...
March 25th:
ictoanftc is no on-line and ready to go! w00t!
But .. there's no comics. And the html is still being sorted out...
